Chapter 1848: Surprise (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please recommend!! Please subscribe!!!)

Nebula’s plan was very good...but she miscalculated one thing, that is...she never thought that the Earth could be in such a desolate place!

The position of the Earth in the universe is very special... Perhaps, as the ancient legends of the Earth said, the Earth was the center of the universe. After all, no one knows where the true center of the universe is, and where can be called the center.

But it is undeniable that the Earth’s position in the universe is indeed special.

The Milky Way where the Earth is located is a prosperous galaxy that has nurtured many civilizations, including Xandar, which is in the Milky Way and has always been one of the most prosperous places in the universe. But the Earth... is in the loneliest and most desolate area of ​​the Milky Way.

This is not reasonable.

There are indeed extremely desolate areas in the universe, such as the void areas between various star systems. There is nothing there except dark matter, a true void. Not to mention stars and planets, there is not even cosmic dust.

The emptiness and nothingness.

It was desolate.

But the star field where the earth is located is not like this. There are countless galaxies and stars here, but no planet has given birth to life. Many of these planets are dead planets! They are not suitable for life at all.

It was as if the ancient gods personally swept through the vast star field surrounding the earth, but only forgot about the earth.

In addition, the Earth is located in a remote area, far away from all star field channels, which means that few alien civilizations will pay attention to the Earth. The area where the Earth is located has always been called the Desolate Star Field, which is a worthless and extremely desolate area.

Even the space prospecting team is too lazy to come here. After all, even if there are many precious minerals on the planet here, it is too remote and there is no route to open up here. The cost of mining the minerals here and transporting them out is much higher than the original price of the minerals themselves!

No one would do such a thing.

And those cosmic wanderers would not be interested in this place either. After all, the vast areas here are barren lands. The cost of surviving here is too high. Who the hell would choose this place if they have the ability?

If you don't have the ability, coming here is just seeking death.

It's like, no homeless person would go to the desert to settle down.

So along the way, there was neither a space station to stop at nor a spaceport to transfer to, and Xingyun slipped away without a care in the world, not to mention when she stopped. Damn, she didn't even see another spaceship along the way...

Where can she go in this situation?

So she really followed all the way to Earth...Oh my God, why did she agree to this journey?

Especially since Star-Lord, this bastard, is a chatterbox. When no one else is talking, he takes every opportunity to talk to her.

Nebula is not a good communicator. She is gloomy and sensitive. If possible, she can go a month without saying a word. But Star-Lord is not like that... He overestimated himself a little. He originally thought that he could endure the lonely voyage... He used to travel around the universe alone.

But in fact, he is a restless person. If no one talks to him, he will probably make all the leaves fall off because of Little Groot's chat.

So Nebula was in trouble!

She was like the little demon beside Tang Monk, who wanted to commit suicide because of the nagging.

Finally, when Nebula began to consider committing suicide or killing Star-Lord, they finally arrived at Earth!

They were intercepted by a strange fleet on the outskirts of the solar system.

"Didn't you say that the Earth is a very backward planet?" Nebula looked at the starship outside and looked at Star-Lord with a little shock.

According to Star-Lord, Nebula had constructed a general impression of the Earth in her mind, which was probably similar to the primitive planet she had visited before, with a group of primitive people holding stone tools, yelling at their spaceship on the ground... Well, the reason why it was so extreme was entirely due to luck that it extended from the bad impression of Star-Lord.

After all, if you love a house, you love everyone in it; if you hate the house, you hate everyone in it.

But Nebula has been in space for so many years, and with Thanos' brutal training, she has basically done everything from assassin to sailor to smuggler to spy. She is definitely well-informed. The fleet in front of them could never have been built by some low-level civilization.

You know, Star-Lord's Milano is a high-end ship made by the Xandar Empire. Although it is not large in tonnage, its performance in all aspects is absolutely top-notch, and it is considered the best adventure ship in the universe. This ship is better than most giant ships in space.

But even such a spaceship did not notice that a fleet had appeared above their heads without them noticing.

Star-Lord was also confused: "I don't know!"

Star-Lord used to think that his hometown was very backward. Of course, there was discrimination between "city people" and "country people". More importantly, the Earth was indeed very backward. They had just set foot in outer space. According to the average development of civilization, they would need at least hundreds of years, or even longer, to develop into deep space.

Whether a civilization can set foot in deep space is a key sign of whether it will be recognized by other civilizations... But even with such standards, there are not many civilizations in the universe that can truly rely on themselves to make it.

Yes, in the prosperous space, there are really not many civilizations that can truly rely on themselves to go into space.

Most of them will develop to the current level of the Earth, and then stop there. After all, both the hyperdrive and the jump drive are very, very difficult technologies. Civilizations that cannot reach this level can only use inefficient chemical power to wander around their home planets, and cannot really set foot in space.

In space, only civilizations that can independently develop interstellar travel will be considered as advanced civilizations. Once other civilizations are discovered, they will immediately become colonies and material collection bases and be exploited by other advanced civilizations.

The materials here include the local population...slaves are quite popular in space.

Many civilizations have gone through this stage. They were colonized and exploited, and then slowly absorbed advanced technology in this long suffering. Finally, they leaped into a new advanced civilization, and then turned around to exploit and colonize more primitive planets... It's a terrible cycle, but space is so naked.

Closer to home.

The last time Star-Lord came back to Earth, the Earth government disassembled his spaceship and studied it thoroughly. But how could they develop the Starfleet so quickly?

How long has it been?

Scientific research is not just about copying.

That thing does work, but not as big as imagined.

For example, if an American F35 is stolen by a backward country, can they copy it and immediately make a new F35? How can it be that simple?

I once saw a question like this on Zhihu or somewhere else: If we get a US B2 bomber, can we copy it?

The B-2 bomber, whose full name is the B-2 "Ghost" stealth strategic bomber, is a high-tech strategic bomber developed by Lockheed Martin Corporation in North America. It has been put into use since the 20s. With its many innovative technologies and extraordinary performance, it is known as the treasure of the US Air Force and is widely considered to have surpassed the level of aviation technology at the time. First of all, the B-80 bomber has a strong stealth capability, which is one of its core advantages. It adopts a design called "flying wing", which makes the fuselage lines smooth and effectively reduces the radar reflection surface. With the special radar absorbing material covering, the radar reflection cross-section of the B-2 is only 2-0.1 square meters, which is equivalent to a small bird. This means that on the radar, the B-0.2 bomber is almost invisible and can pass through the enemy's air defense network silently.

Secondly, the B-2 bomber has an extremely long range. Its maximum non-stop range is over 11 kilometers, which is achieved through aerial refueling during flight. For example, in the Kosovo War in 000, the B-1999 bomber completed a long-distance mission from the United States, flew across the Atlantic Ocean, bombed the target and returned. Such a range allows the United States to avoid deploying the B-2 at overseas bases, greatly improving its survivability.

Thirdly, the B-2 bomber has powerful firepower and can carry many different types of weapons, including free-fall bombs, laser-guided bombs, and tactical nuclear weapons. The B-2 can carry 20 2-pound bombs, or 000 16-pound B2 nuclear bombs. In the 400 Iraq War, the B-83 used GPS-guided bombs for the first time, destroying many targets in a single mission. Therefore, the B-2003 bomber has almost become a symbol of the US military power. Its appearance is like a "product of alien technology", which makes the world admire the high-tech military strength of the United States.

It is undeniable that the power of B-2 makes many countries envious. However, copying a B-2 is not a simple task. From an economic point of view, the production cost of the B-2 bomber is extremely high. The production cost of the B-2 is enough to make most countries stay away. According to data released by the US government, the manufacturing cost of each B-2 is a staggering 20 billion US dollars, not including the subsequent maintenance and upgrade costs. In order to develop the B-2, the US government once invested a large part of its defense budget in this project. However, the high price eventually led to the production of only 2 B-21s, far less than the originally planned 132. Although the performance of the B-2 is impeccable, it is obvious that its "cost-effectiveness" is not high in terms of economy. From a technical point of view, the breakthrough in the technological realization of the B-2 bomber is amazing enough.

First, its design uses a cutting-edge flying wing layout. This unique design shows strong advantages in reducing radar cross-section (thus improving stealth) and improving maneuverability. However, this design is not omnipotent, and it faces huge challenges in stability and flight control. To overcome these challenges, the B-2 is equipped with a complex flight control system, which can be said to be a technological innovation in aviation technology at the time. The power source of the B-2 is four F118-GE-100 turbofan engines, each with a thrust of more than 19 pounds. But the job of these engines is not just to provide thrust, they also need to excel in low infrared and low radar cross-section characteristics in order to further improve the stealth capability of the B-000.

The technical difficulty here cannot be ignored, because designing and producing such an engine requires both advanced technology and huge investment. The stealth capability of the B-2 is also a highlight. To achieve this goal, it uses a variety of composite materials and special coatings to minimize radar reflection. Surprisingly, according to public reports, the radar cross-section of the B-2 is even smaller than that of a pigeon. This requires not only a deep understanding of chemistry and materials science, but also a huge financial investment. In addition, the B-2 is equipped with a highly complex avionics system that includes equipment for navigation, communication and weapon control. In electronic warfare, the B-2's avionics system can protect the aircraft from enemy radar and missile threats. The B-2 uses the AN/APQ-181 radar, which is a multi-mode phased array radar that can accurately locate and attack in a high-threat environment. In summary, the complexity, cost and advanced technology of the B-2 bomber make it a very difficult task to copy it.

However, developing a stealth strategic bomber like the B-2 is an extremely arduous task for my country and any other country. This requires not only huge economic investment, but also many technical difficulties. Although my country has accumulated a certain amount of aviation technology, to achieve the performance of the B-2, it still requires deeper technological innovation and greater economic investment. On the one hand, the B-2's flying wing design, advanced flight control system, turbofan engine research and development, and complex stealth technology all place extremely high demands on the technical level. The research and development of these technologies requires a high degree of scientific research and innovation capabilities, and faces huge technical challenges. On the other hand, from an economic point of view, the cost of developing a brand new strategic bomber is very huge. According to the assessment of some military experts, the development of a brand new strategic bomber may require tens of billions of dollars in investment and may take years or even decades. This is a major economic decision for any country and requires careful consideration. Although my country's progress in the field of aviation industry is remarkable, it still needs to overcome many technical and economic difficulties to build an advanced strategic bomber that can rival the B-2 stealth bomber.

This is just a spacecraft within the atmosphere, and it has so many problems.

Building a spacecraft that can travel and jump in deep space would be more difficult and require more investment, and the time and resources required would be incalculable!

The U.S. government dismantled Star Lord's spacecraft and never thought of replicating it immediately. What they need to do is to spend a lot of time and energy to thoroughly understand those technologies and their principles! Only then can they slowly combine their own technologies to develop a spacecraft suitable for themselves.

It's impossible to simply copy something in a short period of time. You don't even know the principle, how can you copy it?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the various alloys on the spacecraft are enough for the American scientific community to study for a long time. You can’t know the composition and proportion of that thing just by touching it in your hands!

Countless experiments are needed!

Therefore, it is impossible for the Earth to have a fleet in a short period of time!

But they soon got the answer.

This is not Earth's fleet.

They are dark elves!

"Huh?" Star-Lord looked confused.

It's not his fault. After all, the dark elves disappeared from the universe for thousands of years. Except for a few civilizations, not many people remember them.
